Miami Battles New York Aiming For First Win
Photo credit: Miami FC
Miami FC (0-2-3, 2) is still chasing its first win as a club after some hard-luck defeats. The club went on the road last weekend and fell, 2-0, against Ottawa Fury FC. Miami boasts one of the league's top scorers, Dario Cvitanich, and a spark plug in Ariel Martinez, and the club will need both to perform to take points from the visiting New York Cosmos.
New York (3-0-2, 9) has had a Jekyll and Hyde start to the season. The club has looked untouchable at home, but lost twice, conceding late goals, on the road. The Cosmos are coming off a big win over the Carolina RailHawks, which kept their Spring Season title ambitions in play. Yohandry Orozco was the latest player to shine for the Cosmos, scoring the game-winner in the triumph over Carolina, but the club may only be getting stronger. Danny Szetela has recently returned from injury, Croatian international Niko KranjÄar is gaining form with each match, and Bolivian international Yasmani Duk, who was named to the country's preliminary Copa Centenario squad, is beginning to settle into the team.
